Last week we wrote that Flaunt Salon (2166 Windsor Street) would be closing.
That wasn’t accurate.
Regulars and lovers of the salon can rest easy, as longtime Flaunt employee and master stylist/colourist Michael Hinchey has taken over ownership of the brand. The Windsor Street location of the salon will remain open until July 1, after which time Hinchey and the Flaunt name will relocate and continue to operate out of downtown’s AQC Salon (5954 Spring Garden Road).  You can still book appointments with him online or by phone.
“Everything for except number of employees will stay the same. Because the salon has such a great reputation in the city I wanted to make sure that people who are looking for us will still be taken care of,” says Hinchey of his motivation to take over Flaunt. “We didn’t want people to call and be disappointed.” Â

Three of the stylists from Flaunt have ventured out on their own! Darrel, Laurel, and Ashlee have opened the new Brookside and Bliss Salon at 5881 Almon St. My daughter and I went there on Friday and it has a beautiful relaxed atmosphere, lots of natural light and of course the talented Darrel and Laurel (sorry Ashlee, I dont know you yet!). We loved the spot, parking not as difficult as their old location. Darrel and Laurel will continue to be our go to stylists for a long time to come! Love the new location for these three former Flaunt folks!
